The Duke and Duchess of Sussex

^¡Prince Harry was ‘delightfully surprised’ when Meghan Markle ‘peed in the woods on luxury camping trip’

Apologies if this is more than you want to know but it is from a reputable UK red top

The Royal We?

And did it come as a delightful surprise to him to learn that wild bears crap in the woods?

[Boac]

I wonder if that is all she has ever done in the woods?!

[Pontius Navigator]

Interesting sentence in today's DT:

“While Charles may be father to Harry, he’s also their boss, and that makes the relationship complex for a number of reasons,” a source states.

consider

The word May is a modal verb. This means that it needs to be used in conjunction with a main verb. It is most commonly used to express possibility

[G-CPTN]

They have, apparently, now, settled in Santa Barbara.

This is the place where they plan to be happy.

Are they free from any UK support (ie security)?

[Pontius Navigator]

Certainly free from Met Police, they may have private ex-SF but would private security include bullet catching?

Yes, but she's a woman of extraordinary talents, the quotes in titles say - like, she is able to wipe her face with baby wipes, if needed on a luxury safari. And pee in the woods.

According to the reputable red top their new cottage costs $1m more than the area price range, has 9 bedrooms and 16 bathrooms.
It also comes complete with a pole dancing pole.

That was the clincher!

[Pontius Navigator]

Mrs PN has pointed out the house even comes with a dungeon.

IMHO the setting is like Portmerion with Number 6 trapped in a guilded cage.
"You are Number 6"

[probes]

Now, don't be a pack of riffraff.
The Global Association of International Sports Federation (GAISF)—the umbrella organization that houses all Olympic and non-Olympic sports federations—has granted the International International Pole Sports Federation official observer status, a move that internationally recognizes and legitimizes a sport.

(which is true, of course - after all working out on poles parallel (ok, ok, parallel bars) is sport?)

[Pontius Navigator]

There is a lot of noise on social media, I am told, about the Western Palace. One is that No 1 funded the $14.7m fee but made it over in a trust to No 7 thus bypassing No 6 and avoiding half of its value passing the No 6, wife of following the divorce.

Much of the noise is from people who are paying significantly higher rents to the Duchy. When No 2 becomes No 1 will he be as supportive of the new No 5?

[Undried Plum]

Oh! What fun it must be to be a High Wanking German in our tax system!

[Pontius Navigator]

Allegedly they have just bought a house for $5m. No, not the one Daddy bought, another one down the road.

[Undried Plum]

Oh! What shame it must be for them to have buy their own furniture.

That is the true measure of shame for his ilk, even for a despised wetspot on the wrong side
of a blanketsheet on a warm night.

Probably came fully furnished.

The Sussexes are estimated to have a joint worth of between £16 million and £20 million. The combined outgoings of property tax, mortgage repayments, staff, security and the £18,000 a month they are repaying UK taxpayers for the refurbishment of Frogmore House in Windsor, are vast, estimated to reach up to £5 million annually.

Where does an unemployed Prince find a spare £5m per year before utility bills, clothing etc?

It's called the 'Bank of Dad'

[barkingmad]

“Bank of Dad” May not be so liberal with funds in the future, or maybe the move has to do with cashing in on the brand.

MSM this morning saying PC is giving up the Duchy brand and will probably sell it on at hopefully a massive profit.

So though the regular income from the biscuits may cease, the potential windfall may help to fund Ginge & Nutmeg’s taste in multi-bathroom mansions out West.

But as of the time of writing even Goggle has no mention of the sale of the Duchy Original brand so maybe I was dreaming it...
